Female reproductive system. Computer artwork of the lower torso of a woman showing her reproductive system. The ovaries (yellow ovals, lower left and right) release eggs (ova) into the fallopian tubes that lead to the uterus (yellow & white, lower centre). It is in the uterus that the egg, if it is fertilised, develops. The channel at the bottom of the uterus is the vagina. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/DAVID GIFFORD)
